While the one-year-old Scottish siblings' favourite activity consists of sleeping throughout the day, their instructor, Maxime Stalter, is striving to establish a routine.
Twice a day, Nila and Reva are fed in order to get them out of their little tree house and into the public eye. Stalter is also currently training the two red pandas to hop into their cage to facilitate the process when the pandas need their vaccines.

Red pandas are a protected species hailing from the Himalayas. As a result, they’re used to cold temperatures and have a thick coat that they then shed for the summer.
Their diet consists traditionally of bamboo, but at the Parc de Bettembourg, “Panda cakes” (a mixture of bamboo powder, minerals and fibres) are on the menu.
